Eliot Spitzer has manned since last October. Spitzer failed to build up an audience even after ditching Kathleen Parker. Example, when Keith Olbermann's new show premiered on the little-watched Current TV several weeks ago, he managed to pull in more than double the viewers in the key 25- to 54-year-old demographic than tuned in to Spitzer during the same hour.
"We are in discussions with Eliot Spitzer about an alternative role," Ken Jautz, executive vice president of CNN U.S., said in a statement.
In a recent interview segment, Illinois’ Representative Joe Walsh sat down with In The Arena host to discuss Barack Obama and, well. Let’s just say Walsh doesn’t need any help expressing himself.
Look, I’ve been pretty blunt in what I think of this President. I think he’s in over his head, I think he’s in denial and yesterday he acted like a ten-year-old. Now, none of that bothers me because I don’t think he’s really even part of this debate. This President a few months ago started running for re-election. He hasn’t been serious about any of the serious fiscal issues our country is facing.Spitzer’s reaction immediately after Walsh uttered the words “ten-year-old” is nothing short of priceless. Walsh continued, adding that “we voted for this guy because of who he was,” not because on his resume or anything he’d accomplished. Walsh also laid blame on the media for “protecting” Obama.
I don’t take him very seriously.
It will be interesting to see how Spitzer's role at CNN plays out.
